To better understand the content being presented in their core subject areas, it is essential for students to

learn to think critically and to ask higher levels of questions. By asking higher levels of questions, students

deepen their knowledge and create connections to the material being presented, which in turn prepares

them for the inquiry that occurs in tutorials. Students need to be familiar with Costa’s (and/or Bloom’s) levels of

questioning to assist them in formulating and identifying higher levels of questions.
